I have one that will always look up when I say Jojo, and if I am feeding Momo by hand and Jojo is wayyyyyy over on the other side of the cage (10ft. cage) doing his own thing, I just say Jojo and by the smell and voice he comes running knowing I have a treat for him.
Also, when I take Jojo out of the cage, I can put him on the couch (3 seater couch) and throw a blanket in-between us, I just tap my chest and say Jojo come, he will hike it alllllllllll the way over the blanket, pulling James Bond missions until he gets up to my chest. LOL
He does that every time he is out of the cage, AND ONLY FOR ME, not for my brother hahaha :(|)
If my brother is sitting on the couch with me holding Jojo, he has to forcefully keep Jojo with him, because he will always be trying to get to me. x)
I find that so cute, does anyone else have a piggie who does the same thing or similar?
 
Correction lol

"If my brother is sitting on the couch with me holding Jojo, he has to forcefully keep Jojo with him, because he will always be trying to get to me."

Sorry meant to say "If my brother is sitting on the couch with (HIM) holding Jojo"
lol
 
Awww thats well sweet :))

My piggy doesn't do that but when I am sitting on the floor he will run over and jump onto my lap, I put him back down on the floor once and kept moving backwards slightly but he kept running over :) He doesn't know his name tho but that probaly because I usually call him piggle wiggle :p
 
As soon as i move or put on my piggy talk voice they all come over and start wheeking :))
 
If I tap on the floor with my fingernails and call them they will come. Archie will come to his name, the girls are a bit more wary and will just edge towards me until they realise I don't have food rolleyes:))
 
Mine come over and start wheeking if I put my piggy voice on and talk to them but they do not respond to their individual names.

The most amazing thing I have seen piggy wise is Wiebke's tribe. They respond to her voice so well and will come running to her feet when she calls :)
 
Mine will come if there is hope for a treat... And they know exactly who is the naughty piggy! They prefer to go into hiding at "doctor" (medication) time, though!
 
three of mine do that gizmo comes when i call him when he is running around (floor time), lilly comes to me when i call her for a treat and now my new one copper must love his name for when i go copper he goes nuts and comes to me all happy :) (all well come with or without a treat, special times is when they stop eating to get a pat heheh)
 
Video of Jojo coming to me, just shot it now.

That is a quick clip of Jojo coming up to me when I call him, otherwise he will just roam around the couch chilling lol.
 
Ziggy does :), the girls come over as soon as they see me hopeing for some nom's :))
 
Biscuit does but Caramel doesn't. The only reason being is that, generally, I play/cuddle with Biscuit and my wife with Caramel. I use Biscuit's name all the time. When I give him food, when I tell him he's been good or just when I pick him up etc.

My wife very rarely actually uses Caramel's name so it hasn't been reinforced in the same way. I think that's all it is really, you just have to keep using it in certain ways/at certain times to reinforce it :)
 
Esme will come to the wire on the cage if i call her name and will sit there until i give her some food, which she pounces on.
Rosie, who's 6 will look up when i call he. Tia and Ruby are both still scaredy cats at the moment.
 
None of mine do that but any time I walk in the room Ludwig is straight over, standing up and he follows me around the room. He surprised me the other day standing up on his back legs not holding onto anything reaching out for me.

Gilbert knows his name when he's being naughty and I tell him off. He gives me a look of pure innocence. He just knows I can't tell him off when he does it.
 
Angus comes when you call him, or more often stops doing the naughty thing he was doing when you say it in a disapproving voice... He's far to clever for his own good!

The others don't so much but then Hamish can't hear much at all and responds better to a thump on the floor and the other two are just lazy/wanton menaces!
